shoutout to Georg Simmel's "The Metropolis and Mental Life" (1903) bgsp.edu/app/uploads/...

It's a long list, but def adding 'Midnight Cowboy' (1969) and 'Prince of the City' (1981) to this list.

Not quite made in the 70s, but certainly in the New Hollywood paradigm.

should've gone with Grok

i met andrew cote randomly at a party in NYC in fall 2024 and he straight-up told me they were hyping LK-99 on twitter for the lulz, so yeah there you have it

I still remember the 1982 cover, which remains pretty remarkable

mum's the word 🤫

no one does, tbh

isn't just this called 'geography', albeit outside the US?

you are always your own worst enemy, full stop

- Depeche Mode, Music for the Masses, MSG (1988)
- The Cure, Giants Stadium (1989)
- Nirvana, Bleach tour, college club with ~50 people (1991?)
- Jane's Addiction, first Lollapalooza, Fairfax Park (1992)
- P-Funk (many times, 1st in SF's Maritime Hall, 1996)
- MBV, Hammerstein Ballroom (2003?)

such a hated term for me, i much prefer 90s crit-theory's 'unpack'

define 'book'

a good way to ensure those ungraded papers accompany you into the afterlife

thank you! and good luck with the rest of COP

any word on the O&G concession auctions and how those might be affected by this, if at all?
